Wintertime is a time of silent preparation for what is to come, new life preparing to burst forth in spring. Weather patterns show possibilities, how day to day things change. One day there is snow, the next rain. One day is cloudy, another sunny. But underneath it all things are busy slowly being born. So is it with the life of the human, things are always waiting to be born. The spirit waits for its chance to live, to become known and to express itself. Notice its creative urges each day. Look for it each day inside you too, your own spirit hinting at what it is truly capable of.

Sending you love,

There is no shame in wanting fulfillment, in whatever shape or form you desire it. Look to nature and how naturally it fulfills itself, how each flower strives to fully bloom, how each fruit tree pushes its fruit to ripen, how every bird sings its mating song and seeks its partner, how naturally a human baby grows into adulthood, seeking its own fullness. Fulfillment means many different things to many different people but the path is the same, the intent is the same, the dream is the same. Continue the dream, it’s only natural.

Let not timidity keep you from life. Face your fears each day. Rather than letting them dominate, dominate them with unrelenting fierceness. The fox on the hunt knows no fear; it only knows what it wants and needs. The fragile butterfly does not fear the path to the flower. The mole does not fear the earth it digs through. It is natural to be fearless. And yet the human heart has learned things that keep it limited and safe. But at what cost? Find the way to break through old patterns. Without doubt proceed forward into new life, certain of your success. It’s as natural as can be!

Sending you love,

Though nature wages war in its own way, making way for change, for evolution, for transformation, opening the pathways to what naturally comes next, war created and waged by human beings is another story. Where enemies are created, where hatred grows, where change is forced, only chaos ensues. There is no natural energy of change attached to the wages of war; there are only consequences that will prevail and be felt worldwide. May peace and good will prevail. May the silence of night lay across the world its calm hope. May peace and good will prevail.

Sending you love,

Cycles of change are so apparent in nature, as the seasons change, as day turns to night, as the moon and sun rise and set, as autumn turns to winter. Change eventually comes, bringing first much needed respite then much needed new growth and new life. The human being also goes through natural cycles of change while in human form, most dramatically seen in the the small babe changing to an adult over the span of two decades. Change makes way for what is to naturally come. Concentrate on that, prepare for what is to naturally come so that there is no shock when the next big change arrives, when the next natural step in life appears. Be ready.
